Chapter 3608 Edge of Tomorrow (End)
"Six more enemy reconnaissance planes were shot down over Washington. The Air Force General personally visited the crash site. He called it a great victory for mankind's resistance and encouraged the Air Force to keep up the good work..."
"The latest news from Tokyo: The reconnaissance plane that hovered over Tokyo Tower the day before yesterday has been shot down, causing one person to be slightly injured. Eyewitnesses at the scene said that the aerial fight was very brutal!"
"The British royal family issued a statement to commemorate the war heroes: The coffins of the three war heroes who died in the plane crash on the 23rd have been placed in the Royal Air Force Cemetery. The Queen went to pay her respects in person. May the heroes rest in peace."
"The latest news from New Delhi: They claim to have shot down 1300 enemy planes and successfully damaged an enemy frigate, causing it to crash into the Indian Ocean. This ranks first in this human joint operation..."
The broadcasts never stopped. Ever since Brainiac launched his full-scale attack, the human resistance had not only not been broken, but had grown stronger. News of enemy aircraft being destroyed continued to come from all over the world.
This made Brainiac sigh, humans are really bold in boasting.
There is a generation gap between Krypton and human technology. From the beginning of the war to now, the total number of fighter planes destroyed is no more than 300. However, according to global news reports, humans claim to have shot down more than 100 times this number.
Their estimate of battlefield casualties was probably "whatever was touched counted" - as long as the weapon hit something, it didn't matter if it was hit or not, it was all counted as a victory. Moreover, they exaggerated the effect of the nuclear bomb: it was only the tail wing of a frigate that was blown up, but now there are reports that 10 frigates have crashed.
Moreover, ordinary people really believe it.
It was only then that Brainiac realized that his decision to divide his forces was wrong. He should have concentrated his forces and directly decapitated a country's government, so as to create losses that the media could not cover up, so as to achieve a deterrent effect.
A full-scale attack like the current one seems to have caused losses to every country, but the losses are not so serious that social order collapses, so the propaganda can continue, and there are still many manpower to be invested in the battlefield. The originally expected blitzkrieg has been turned into a war of attrition.
In terms of a war of attrition, humans theoretically cannot out-consume Brainiac. This is because he can feed his entire family with one person's food - he is a silicon-based creature that can work endlessly without needing to rest. However, humans' emergency mobilization state cannot last long.
When the number of people is reduced to a level that the propaganda machine can no longer conceal, society will inevitably panic and the social structure will collapse. By that time, even if ordinary people want to resist, they will be scattered and it will be difficult for them to achieve anything great.
But the bad thing is that Brainiac has to fight other things. He and the humans have been wasting two months here, and then it will be Darkseid and Sinestro's turn to let him know what the Black Hand is.
Although we want to preserve the Earth's manpower as a supplement for subsequent long-term operations, it now seems that we must take ruthless measures.
The frigate no longer held back, and Brainiac launched a full-scale extermination operation, using the ship's guns as ground-to-ground weapons and violently sweeping the capitals of various countries to achieve the purpose of deterrence.
This trick finally worked. After the command systems of various countries were destroyed, human society began to panic and the resistance was much weaker than before.
But not long after, a new government was formed in another region, or the original regional government was formalized. A large number of ordinary people began to flock to that place, and then they began to organize a new round of resistance.
Although not all countries can do this, for example, European countries are too small, and after a country’s capital is destroyed, they can only go to another country, but this kind of group behavior is happening in every country, and it really seems like they will resist to the last man.
Brainiac had to destroy the local government, and eventually he plowed all the places where humans gathered.
At this time, he no longer wanted to conquer humans so that they would work for him. He simply refused to accept the consequences and killed for the sake of killing.
But in the end, it was already mid-December, and Brainiac was still stuck in the quagmire of humanity.
There is no organized government now, but even the guerrilla organizations are determined not to surrender and will fight Brainiac to the end.
Unfortunately, the Apocalypse Army and the Yellow Lantern Army came again. This week was also a failure as expected.
After the reset, Brainiac began to reflect deeply:
The human race is very peculiar. Their lower limit is as low as their upper limit; they can be as shameless as they are selfless; they can be as fragile as they are resilient. They have become a race that even Brainiac, who has a level 12 intelligence, cannot understand.
In fact, the last round was not easy. It was okay in the early stage, and we destroyed one government and temporary government after another with extreme force. But in the later stage, many hexagonal warriors suddenly appeared.
Each of them has both military power and brains; they can both command and coordinate; they can both lead the army in battle and manage logistics; they can both encourage the soldiers and calm the people's hearts.
Moreover, these people were not full-time fighters before: some were students, some were workers, some were white-collar workers, and there were even homeless people and beggars. Brainiac really couldn't understand how these people, with their talents, could have gotten to this point on Earth?
When I'm not here, you guys can make yourself homeless; when I come, you suddenly change into the best in the country. So you're targeting me, right?
In the struggle of these people, Brainiac did not have an easy fight. The robots he produced were not invincible, and they were consumed a lot in the end. He counted the results of the battle and found that it was far beyond what he could bear.
He had to admit that he was too arrogant, but the sudden explosion of humans was also a major reason. The fighting power of humans in desperate situations made Brainiac feel that he had completely misjudged the strength of this race.
This time he learned from his mistakes and was determined not to step into this muddy pit again: "If you can't afford to provoke me, I can afford to avoid you. I'll just stay on Krypton and blast soldiers, and ignore the Earth. Is that not okay?"
The answer is of course no.
Not to mention that Krypton is not a mechanical civilization at all. As of their extinction, they were still in the early stages of mechanical production, and the legacy left for Brainiac was not enough.
More importantly, most of the equipment on Krypton is adapted to Kryptonians, not machines, which means that it requires a humanoid creature to operate it.
But the strength of the robots produced by Brainiac did not meet the standards of Kryptonians. Even if they did, the production efficiency was not high enough, let alone iteration.
There was also a generation gap between Apokolips and Krypton. It was impossible to catch up in just a few months, so Brainiac could only choose to win by numbers. However, due to factors such as inconvenience in operation and outdated equipment, his army was not well prepared.
In the end, Brainiac was defeated again.
In the following weeks, Brainiac tried every possible way, whether it was cooperating with one party to expel the other party, or simply cooperating with Darkseid, but he failed to achieve his desired goal.
It was even worse: Darkseid and Sinestro were the worst of the worst, the epitome of the despicable. Brainiac's cooperation with them was like seeking the skin of a tiger, and of course he would be eaten up without a trace in the end.
After many twists and turns, Brainiac finally had no choice but to cooperate with humans. But the good news is: after several weeks, the human leaders finally realized that this was not a dream.
Therefore, this time, the negotiations between humans and Brainiac went relatively smoothly. Humans fought for their own survival, and Brainiac worked hard for victory, and the two sides reached an unprecedented cooperation.
Just like the first time, Brainiac took over the entire human network, but with the mechanical army he brought from Krypton, this time the takeover was comprehensive and in-depth.
Because the facilities on Earth were too backward, Brainiac chose to let most of the scientists go to Krypton first to restore the Kryptonian equipment.
This move has greatly improved the efficiency of the Krypton production line. After all, Kryptonians are also carbon-based creatures, and look almost exactly like humans. Humans can best understand their purpose in designing and producing something, and therefore have a way to optimize the production line as quickly as possible.
Moreover, Brainiac also used the memories of the second act, which was the full-scale invasion of the Earth, to pick out all the heroes who caused him great trouble, formed a command center and a logistics department, and used their abilities and wisdom to further assess the battlefield situation and make favorable choices.
It can be said that the results achieved in this round of cooperation between Brainiac and humans were the best. They killed 70% of the demon-like army, and although the rest also suffered damage, it was within an acceptable range.
The Yellow Lantern Corps was also repelled by them. But as expected, after the Yellow Lantern Corps retreated, other Lantern Corps came. And the most troublesome one was none other than the Green Lantern Corps.
To be more precise, it was the Green Lantern Corps from the side of the little blue men, the guardians of the Green Lantern Universe. Although there were not many of them, they were all good fighters. Hal of this universe did not take action, so Brainiac had to fight hard to drive them out of the solar system.
As a result, Darkseid actually had a wave of reinforcements. The previous battle had completely drained Krypton and humanity, and now there was really no more room for reinforcements. This time the operation was declared a failure again.
After resetting again, Brainiac cursed for half an hour in the Justice League's conference room. If the artificial intelligence community were to select the "Best Rapper", Brainiac would deserve it.
Although the "dog planner" is not a good person, we still have to fight, after all, we were just a little bit away from completing the game last week. Darkseid's last reinforcements were not that strong. As long as we had more resources, we would definitely be able to fight them back.
Brainiac is like a player who can clear the level with only a little health left on the boss. Even though he feels nauseous and dizzy from the fight, he still has to hold on and clear the level completely.
He reflected on it and felt that the idea of the previous game was correct, but the details were not polished enough. In addition, the human side was also a mess, and progress was delayed several times due to personal emotions or organizational problems.
There was no way to correct this kind of detail problem, so we could only slowly adjust it. Fortunately, under Brainiac's strong request, the Justice League took a small step back and gave him 100 places to retain his memory, allowing those scientists and capable people to accompany him for a few more weeks.
In the office of Gotham University, Schiller sighed as he watched the calendar pieces that had been torn off fly back one by one, and the month returned from December to July.
Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. I don’t know how many times 1999 will pass.
I’m still thinking about what to write in the next unit.
